Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Don’t Leave After School (33)

Jih Cheng was sulking for a few days.

But soon he understood that even if Chuzheng didn’t know what liking someone meant, she indeed treated him as if he were hers.

He couldn’t suppress that hidden joy…

He liked this girl.

He really, really liked her.

He would do anything for her.

Just as Jih Cheng was wavering,

An unexpected visitor made him fall into the depths of despair again.

The words he had said to her before were not at all because of the attitude she had towards him…

Jih Cheng stood at the doorway, listening to the voices outside.

He didn’t need to see to know who was outside.

“Who are you? Where is my Chengcheng?”

“Do you need something?” Chuzheng looked at the woman in front of her, slightly impatient.

“I’m looking for Jih Cheng. Who are you?” the woman sized up Chuzheng as if she no longer remembered their previous encounter.

“He’s not available,” Chuzheng said coldly. “If you have something to say, you can tell me.”

“Tell you? What’s your relationship with Chengcheng?” The woman’s sharp gaze roamed over Chuzheng’s body, then as if realizing something, she said, “Let me tell you, our Chengcheng will never like someone like you. You’d better not set your sights on Chengcheng.”

“Oh, what if I have?”

Someone like me?

What kind of person am I?

With money and power, why couldn’t I?

“Heh, young lady, despite your young age, how can you be so shameless? How old are you? Just running to a boy’s house like this…” The woman’s words were somewhat vulgar.

Chuzheng listened with an expressionless face.

As the woman spoke, she took out her phone to call Jih Cheng.

The ringtone of Jih Cheng’s phone came from inside the room, and the woman rushed over to bang on the door.

“Chengcheng, come out! Mommy knows you’re inside. Come out now!”

Jih Cheng, afraid she would say something even uglier, told her over the phone to leave first, or he would not come out.

The woman was far from willing; she didn’t want her son to be with a girl of unknown background.

Jih Cheng had no choice but to threaten her.

Finally, the woman left reluctantly, throwing a glare at Chuzheng as she left and warning her not to go after her Chengcheng.

Chuzheng: “…”

Not only did I go after him, but I also locked him up!

What can you do about it?

[Miss, may I ask why you still seem so proud?]King’s Account expressed extreme despair. The Good Person Card isn’t meant to be used to lock someone up, right?

I locked him up with my ability, why shouldn’t I be proud?

[…]

Chuzheng entered the room, and Jih Cheng obediently sat beside her. “That was my mom. Please let me go out; otherwise, she will come to make a scene again.”

“She’s not good to you.”

Chuzheng simply stated the fact.

Jih Cheng pursed his lips, his eyebrows showing a trace of melancholy. “It’s nothing. I’ll go out and talk to her. Is that okay?”

The young man looked up, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. “I promise I won’t run away.”

Chuzheng didn’t say anything.

The young man leaned in, wrapping his arms around her neck, and nuzzled her like a puppy. “I’ll be obedient. I’m just going out to talk to her. Is that alright?”

Chuzheng still didn’t respond.

The young man leaned in to kiss her, gently licking and nibbling with caution.

He expected Chuzheng to respond to his kiss soon, but Chuzheng just looked at him.

As if she were gauging the credibility of his words.

The young man closed his eyes, immersing himself in the kiss.

This was the person he liked; how could he not want to kiss her.

“Baby…” Jih Cheng murmured, pleading softly with her, “I’ll listen to you, I’ll listen to whatever you say. Please, don’t lock me out, okay?”

Jih Cheng’s body suddenly fell backward, a shower of fine, dense kisses descending.

Jih Cheng assured her over and over that he definitely wouldn’t run away.

In the end, Chuzheng agreed to his request.

Having gained his freedom, Jih Cheng behaved well and stayed at home every day. On the rare occasions he went out, he would share his itinerary with Chuzheng, indicating where he was.

Chuzheng wasn’t afraid of him running away; she could always catch him again.

It was just a bit of a hassle.

Yet Chuzheng hadn’t expected that after behaving so well for so many days, Jih Cheng would end up roaring through the King’s Account, urging her to stop him from becoming evil.

Chuzheng was quite bewildered.

The little thing was very well-behaved!

How had he suddenly become evil?

This abrupt descent into evil, without any warning, was a bit much!

[Miss, I’ve warned you not to provoke the Good Person Card. Even if it seems normal, it’s been judged as something that will become evil.]

Chuzheng, her face cold, watched the distance on her phone, ignoring the incessant lecturing from the King’s Account.

–

The young man sat on an old, rusty barrel, toying with a knife in his hand. The firelight flickered across his clear and delicate face, bright one moment, dark the next.

The Black Night spread out behind him like an invisible net, engulfing him.

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

Whimpering sounds came from beside him.

The young man slightly tilted his head, his gloomy eyes reflecting the image of the woman who was tied up hand and foot, thrown beside him.

The young man hopped down from the barrel, walking step by step towards her.

He ripped the tape off the woman’s mouth.

“Jih Cheng, you’re crazy.” The woman immediately roared, “I’m your mother; let me go.”

Jih Cheng used the knife in his hand to lift the woman’s chin, “Mother?”

The young man’s voice was beautiful, yet chillingly cold.

“Do you think you deserve that title?”

“Jih Cheng…” The woman’s voice trembled, a look of fear in her eyes, “Put the knife away.”

“Scared.” The young man let out a low chuckle, but his eyes didn’t smile, “Do you know how I felt when you threw me to the Jih Family? Just like you now…”

“I… I did it for your own good. Your surname is Jih, and you lived in luxury there. What’s so bad about that?” The woman argued desperately.

The young man slid the knife down to the woman’s neck, “Lived in luxury… Ha, you did it for your own financial gain, right? Do you think I don’t know you were always asking the Jih Family for money?”

He was like merchandise that she had sold to the Jih Family.

“If I hadn’t been of the Jih bloodline, you probably would never have given birth to me. You have no idea what my life in the Jih Family was like, how Jih Bo treated me, how everyone in the Jih Family treated me!”

Towards the end, the young man’s voice became sharp and fierce.

“I don’t need any luxury. I just want a peaceful life. I have the ability to make money; I can provide a good life for you. You just had to wait for me. Why wouldn’t you? Why did you insist on forcing me back to the Jih Family?”

The woman, seemingly frightened by the young man, turned pale and didn’t dare to speak.

“I won’t let you force me anymore. I want to be with her, you can’t appear again…”

This woman would destroy everything he had.

Just as she had ruined his past.

He wanted to be with her…

That girl he loved to the core of his bones; he truly… was willing to do anything for her.

“Jih Cheng, what’s wrong with you?” The woman noticed something amiss about Jih Cheng, “Don’t be impulsive; Mom was wrong before, I apologize to you; please, calm down.”

“Mom won’t force you anymore, really, don’t be impulsive.”

The young man’s smile was sinister, “Too late.”

He knew his mother’s character all too well; as long as he was of use, she would never let him go.

She had to disappear…

She had to disappear.
